This image is a portrait of a man's upper body, focusing on his head and shoulders. The man is in profile facing the right side of the image. He has a long, straight nose, a strong jawline, and curly hair styled upwards. He wears a high-collared dark coat with two visible buttons, a light-colored cravat around his neck, and no visible jewelry. The background features a textured circular frame. There is an inscription that reads "Drawn & eng'd by J. Maxon, Philadel'a," and "Alex Forsyth" at the bottom.
